In reply to ellen white. Hi Ellen, I recommend the recipe as written, but you can substitute if you prefer.

can you use regular oil such as canola oil, instead of coconut or olive oil?

In reply to Danielle. Hi Danielle, if you don't want syrup you might want to add an egg white. Several commenters have used that. In addition to the sweetener, the honey or maple syrup helps bind the granola and form clumps.

I LOVE this recipe!!! What would you replace the maple syrup/honey with if I want to make it sugar free? Will it need another liquid if I just take it out? I’ve tried doubling the oil and it turns out too oily. Thanks:)

This granola is so yummy! And I find that my digestion has been getting better since I started making and eating my own granola. And my favourite recipes are this one and your gingerbread granola.

I tried making your basic recipe a couple times, but both batches didn’t turn out at all. I wanted to give granola one more shot, so I gave this recipe a try. It turned out perfectly – and it’s even clumpy!! :D I was so pleased. Haha The only difference was that I used 1 cookie sheet instead of spreading it out over 2 like I did before. And that’s the moral of the story: 2 pans is too toasty!

My friend gave this granola to me as a Christmas present! Wow, it is wonderful and now I will be sending it on to other friends.

The best Christmas granola! This is my second year making this for a friend gift. If using raw pecans I put the pecans in halfway through. Otherwise, I found they burned a little. I also sometimes add mini choc chips, double the cinnamon and do 1.5 x the orange zest! Delicious! I’m putting it in pretty glass jars this year.
